Chapter 3: The Ruthless Man (2)
Xu Yu'an sighed after this antecedent, and his soul returned to his body, but he saw Yusheng looking at him sideways.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yu'an asked.
Xu Yuhuan was most happy to join in the irrelevant excitement when he was doing his homework, and hurriedly said: "Yusheng finished answering you, you haven't spoken for five minutes, what's wrong with you!" ”
Xu Yu'an was embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't say that he was pondering Yusheng's character, so he had to look left and right and say to him: "Yusheng, when will your legs be good?" ”
Yusheng lowered his head again, and still copied his Lin solitary book: "It takes a hundred days to hurt my muscles and bones, but I unfortunately am more serious, and the doctor said that it will take half a year - nearly two hundred days." ”
Xu Yu'an suddenly remembered an extremely important matter: "Yusheng, did you come to our house because you had a broken leg and couldn't continue to work at the waterworks?" ”
Yusheng said: "Yes, thank you Mr. Xu for taking me in, so that I won't starve to death on the side of the road." ”
"The factory pays us more than our family?"
"It's more, but it's also a little more tiring."
"That'...... Then when your leg is healed, will you go back to the factory? ”
Hearing this, Xu Yuhuan also became nervous and put the brush down.
Yusheng raised his head and glanced at them, with a little amusement: "I thought it was a big deal, so nervous." I still can't walk after half a year, my leg is seriously injured, and I can't do strength work all of a sudden. ”
As soon as the Xu brothers put their minds at ease, Yusheng said to himself: "About a year later, I can go back to the factory." He paused, and the brothers became nervous again. Yusheng looked at the brothers with a little urgency, and a pair of peach blossom eyes stared at them.
Xu Yuhuan shouted: "I am not allowed to leave after a year!" ”
"I'm not from your family, how can I stay in your house forever, even if I want, Mrs. Xu may not allow me to eat this mouthful of rice."
Xu Yu'an hurriedly said: "We told my mother that you taught well, and she will definitely keep you!" ”
"What's the matter, are you so reluctant to me." Yusheng made a joke, and there was a bit of a romantic look in his eyes, and Xu Yu'an's face turned red in an instant, like a crab on a steamer.
"No...... It's not ......"
"Of course I can't bear you!" Xu Yuhuan is wondering what his brother has to swallow, "Do you still need to ask?" ”
Xu Yu'an followed the steps for a while, and tacitly acknowledged that Xu Yuhuan's reluctance was the same as his.
Yusheng was talking and laughing with them, but his face suddenly sank, and his eyes even looked at the courtyard a little coldly. It turned out that Ah Yi was coming over and changing the water in the large water tank in the atrium. Ah Yi also deliberately glanced at Yusheng, a little smile appeared on his face, his tongue wiped viciously over his front teeth, and then whistled briskly, which was a bit lewd.
Yusheng didn't look around, and asked Xu Yu'an as if nothing happened: "Brother An, do you have a paper cutter?" There are a few pages in this booklet that are not cut. ”
Xu Yu'an had already noticed that Ah Yi's expression was strange, and he was thinking about this matter in his mind, but he didn't react for a while. Xu Yuhuan shouted: "My brother has a Swiss Army knife given by my father!" He was a little proud, as if he had helped Yusheng find a great blessing.
Xu Yu'an couldn't wait to take out all his treasures and show them to Yusheng, so he went back to the room to get them. He handed the small, but very sharp Swiss Army Knife to Yusheng, and made up his mind: Ah Yi must be bullying Yusheng. Then he, as the eldest young master of this family, should warn Ah Yi.
The next day, Xu Yu'an ran up to the second floor and read English in the corridor. This is just a disguise, in fact, just to ascend, you can keep quietly staring at Ah Yi on the windowsill, hoping that when he is alone, he can go and knock and knock. Unexpectedly, Ah Yi and several other long-term workers were inseparable, and they couldn't wait to pee together. The weather is just cooler, and everyone is in good spirits, unlike in the middle of summer, when they look forward to separating one person to grab the shade to cool off.
Xu Yu'an was worried, but Xu Yuhuan was supported by Yusheng and specially told him: "Yusheng said that you read English and stumbled, you should listen to the radio more!" "He's very proud, and his brother sometimes doesn't do things well. Xu Yu'an was a little irritable, waved his hand and ignored his younger brother, and at this time, he must have noticed that three or four of the long-term workers were sneakily going to the backyard.
He immediately ran downstairs, left his younger brother behind, and shouted in a depressed voice: "Hey, brother! You're not humble at all! ”
When I arrived in the backyard, I was a little disappointed when I saw Ah Yi and a few people still sitting in a circle, sitting on a small horse; When I ran to take a look, I saw that several people were secretly playing cards together, and I couldn't help but be disappointed.
The few people who were caught were shocked, and hurriedly explained that they were not lazy, but they played the cards after everyone had done everything today. After saying that, he didn't feel very credible, so he relied on Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng Lai Ayi, Ah Yi Lai Wang Niu, Wang Niu Lai Xiaoqian's shirk of responsibility, and finally couldn't find a unified caliber, dragged Xu Yu'an, and begged Brother An not to tell Mrs. Xu, otherwise he would have to deduct his wages, and he would be kicked out if he didn't do it - Mr. Xu hates gambling.
Xu Yu'an was still dragged in disappointment, and was taken away for a lot of time by a mess of explanations, and couldn't help but have a head or two, thinking who cares about whether you play cards or not, and hummed a few times.
The long-term workers felt that his answer was too perfunctory, obviously not sincere, and still pestered him to dissect his heart and lungs, and talked about the hard work of weekdays for a long time, Xu Yu'an was very impatient, thinking that these long-term workers were really confused, and they couldn't tell who was in charge of what at home.
But in fact, from the perspective of the long-term workers, although Xu Yu'an and Xu Yuhuan are both young masters, Xu Yuhuan can not take it seriously, but Xu Yu'an is equivalent to half a master. Xu Yuhuan is still a half-old child, with a smile on his face, easy to speak, even if he teases two sentences, he is not annoyed, and the chief workers call him brother and uncle; And Xu Yu'an has been smart since he was a child, he asks things clearly, usually his face is cold, his eyes look straight and sharp, who dares to be sloppy in front of him?
But that's where the long-term workers make mistakes. Xu Yuhuan looked confused, but in fact, he was always clear about the affairs of the family, he had made too many mistakes since he was a child, and he was afraid that people would sue him in front of his wife, so the first thing he learned was to distinguish who could manage him in the family and who could be commanded by him; Whoever discovers something wrong will have an accident, and whoever is coquettish will be effective; Who will make a small report to Grandma, who is most afraid of seeing Grandma, will never talk too much, he is really clear; But Xu Yu'an, looking shrewd, in fact, his heart couldn't be bigger, thinking about his own affairs all day long, what happened in the left ear and out of the right ear at home, nagging so hard that he was not happy: Don't tell me about this!
Xu Yu'an walked all over the world, and found that Xiao Qian had just gone from "the aunt at home wants to marry his brother's daughter-in-law" to "Dongcun Xiaochun is looking forward to him earning enough belongings", and he was about to talk about it at half an hour, and even the remaining half an hour was wasted. With a sharp eye, he saw that it was the third sister Hui Hui'er who came out of the flower bed with the land all over the ground, and immediately saw a savior: "Hui Hui'er!" "Pull your legs and run, leaving the long-term workers behind.
Unexpectedly, Hui Hui'er was very nervous when she saw him, and her little short legs didn't know whether to run or not, so she stayed in place for a while.
Hui Hui'er is from Aunt Lan, and she doesn't have much contact with Mrs. Xu's three siblings. Aunt Lan entered the house when Mrs. Xu was pregnant with Xu Yuhuan, and as soon as she entered the house, she immediately became pregnant with Hui Hui'er, and Mrs. Xu couldn't get rid of her, and became a long-term thorn in her side. Mrs. Xu is a powerful new-style woman, she looks down on the humble Aunt Lan, but she doesn't disdain to exclude her, and she is angry that she is working hard to give birth to a child, but Xu Hongqi goes to the theater to find a girl who is chic and happy. Mrs. Xu's name is Lin Qingrong, once she recalls this old incident, she immediately turns angry, and she has not been good for several years. Jiao Jiaoer was born after several years, and the age difference between her and her brothers and sisters is because of this. Xu Hongqi didn't dare to touch this reverse scale, so although Aunt Lan and Hui Hui'er lived in Xu's house, they lived quietly like transparent people. Aunt Lan, as a second-rate character in the troupe, has average appearance, average ambition, and average talent, but she can live in peace and stability without worrying about food and clothing, and she is also extremely satisfied.
This time, Xu Yu'an took the initiative to stop Hui Hui'er, but there was never anything wrong, abnormal is a demon, Hui Hui'er thought she had done something wrong, and looked up at her brother with a trembling head.
Being looked at by her so sincerely and innocently, Xu Yu'an was embarrassed for a while, and asked stubbornly: "How is Sister Huihui'er doing?" He remembered that he didn't care about what happened before, and suddenly asked about the current situation, and it seemed that he couldn't get up or down, so he asked again: "Is the homework still going well?" ”
Hui Hui'er had just come home from playing with dirt, but when she was asked how her homework was, she was very panicked: "I...... I...... I'm in school today! ”
Xu Yu'an was woken up, Hui Hui'er was only a little younger than Xu Yuhuan, and she was also studying in the same elementary school, and suddenly found the words: "Are you in the second grade?" Is homework difficult? Which gentleman are you teaching? ”
Hui Hui'er is like an exam, and she answers them one by one honestly. She knew that her brother's remarks were purely false enthusiasm, and she replied cautiously, both for fear that her brother would be impatient to listen to if she said too much, and for fear that she would appear disrespectful to her brother if she said too little. But Xu Yu'an had no second thoughts, and he didn't want Hui Hui'er to respect him, but he suddenly remembered that there was a younger sister in the family who had never cared, and he was a little ashamed. In fact, it is very easy for Hui Hui'er to end this lackluster conversation, as long as she asks "Does my brother know what my scientific name does", Xu Yu'an will immediately run away in shame. Of course, Hui Hui'er didn't know, her mother was a concubine, half a servant, and she was both respectful and awe-inspiring to Mr. and Mrs. Xu, which made Hui Hui'er look up to her brothers a little bit like masters, and she also felt that the masters must be very shelf-like.
"Hui Hui'er, Hui Hui'er!"
As soon as the brother and sister turned around, they saw that Aunt Lan had come to find her. Today, Hui Hui'er has been crazy for a long time after school, and she was held by Xu Yu'an for a while, and after a long time, Aunt Lan was anxious and looked around in the house.
When Hui Hui'er saw Aunt Lan, she was immediately pardoned; As soon as Xu Yu'an saw Aunt Lan, his heart was empty-thinking that if Mrs. Xu found out, she would definitely not make him feel better-but he had to send it, and he couldn't turn around and leave. In fact, when Aunt Lan saw Xu Yu'an, she was also like a great enemy, and she thought, is Mrs. Xu going to make me feel better and find trouble with me?
When she came to Xu Yu'an, she pinched the silk without saying a word, and made a half-salute sideways, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, gentle and frugal.
Xu Yu'an was taken aback, he didn't know how to deal with it, it has been 16 years since the Republic of China, and there are still people who do this ceremony! He himself grew up with a new-style education, and Aunt Kelan grew up in the opera troupe, and the stories of the ancients and the good stories of the belovers sung by the troupe still believe in the set of three obedience and four virtues. Xu Yu'an didn't know whether to bow or bow, but it was rude to hesitate for too long, so he immediately made a decision and bowed ninety degrees, which was urgent and fierce, which surprised Hui Hui'er and Aunt Lan.
I only heard Aunt Lan pat her chest with the silk, pretending to be disgusted, and said coquettishly: "My little master, it really scares me!" Now he's grown into a big boy, taller than his aunt. Why did you remember to play with your sister Yuxin today? You brothers and sisters should get together more! ”
Aunt Lan is a speaking class in the troupe, and she has come and gone, and she grew up with people's eyes. Although his singing skills are average, he is surprisingly able to speak, and he is worthy of the name "what he says is better than what he sings". In this paragraph, she first called Xu Yu'an a young master, which was regarded as giving Mrs. Xu a face; and called herself an aunt, showing that she was her father's woman, first put on a posture; Then point out Huihui's scientific name "Xu Yuxin", indicating that my daughter and you are the same generation, and they are people with status; Finally, I welcome Xu Yu'an to get together, which means that my Aunt Lan has no opinion on you, and any contradictions are the attitude of your mother Mrs. Xu alone.
She felt that what she said was exhaustive, and she was quite satisfied, but Xu Yu'an's mind didn't turn so much, and she was really pretty for the blind to see.
Aunt Lan also saw that the eldest young master of the Xu family didn't hear her voice, but she didn't feel wasted, thinking that since Xu Yu'an was expressing an attitude towards Mrs. Xu, this passage must still reach Mrs. Xu's ears as it was. Mrs. Xu must be able to understand.
Xu Yu'an thought in his heart, my father is really inclusive, and the family can accommodate a new-style female Mrs. Xu, and she also puts the old society as an aunt.
